Su Li fell silent for a mont, his sigh sowhat feeble.
"Brother Qing is right, he definitely ca to kill ."
Cece sorted out so relics and walked over with a Token.
"Young master, this guy is from the Seventh Floor, and he's one of their high-ranking officials."
Yu Ziqing looked at Su Li, who had a complex expression on his face. He thought of many things at once.
He had received an order and had to report back imdiately, and in a thousand miles around this area, this was the only base left.
From that mont on, his whereabouts were essentially exposed.
"Brother Qing, this ti it was who dragged you into this. Thank you for saving my life. This matter won't end here; I will definitely explain things to Brother Qing in the future." Su Li said earnestly, bowing deeply.
Yu Ziqing smiled and stepped forward, patting Su Li on the shoulder.
"If you talk like that, it feels like you're making us strangers. If he wanted to kill , I would have just killed him. Whether it was your fault or not, the result would have been the sa. Besides, talking about dragging each other down at this point, you underestimate ."
At this point, Yu Ziqing changed the direction of the conversation.
"Brother Su, you are a spy from the Shadow Departnt, and this guy is a high-ranking official from the Seventh Floor. You definitely know more about what the Seventh Floor is all about than I do.
I can guess as much that there may be a traitor within your Shadow Departnt. Surely you understand, don't you?
Moreover, you had just sent back a load of information, and soone is already trying to kill you. What are they afraid of?"
Su Li was at a loss for words, unable to muster a rebuttal.
As a spy of the Shadow Departnt, when dispatched on a solo mission, at most a few top officials of the Shadow Departnt know the general area they are going to. The specific details of their whereabouts are known only to themselves, maintaining confidentiality throughout and even not needing to report back.
Only when they finish their mission and return to report does anyone beco aware of their exact whereabouts, and even then, only a few top officials of the Shadow Departnt know.
The quick response ti now ant there was only one possibility: it was not just a matter of a traitor within the Shadow Departnt.
And the traitor's position might be very high.
The Seventh Floor, although always dealing in espionage and having many enemies, has never been wiped out, because these guys, like groundhogs, hide very deeply and aren't very strong.
Where would they get the ability to infiltrate the Shadow Departnt?
With the annual inspections of the Shadow Departnt, how could a traitor continuously fool them?
He felt that it might not be that soone betrayed the Shadow Departnt, but rather that the real controller of the Seventh Floor might be soone high up in the Shadow Departnt.
And this person might feel that he knew more than just the information that had been submitted.
To be safe, they naturally wanted to kill him to silence him.
Although he could undertake missions alone as a Shadow spy, his status within the Shadow Departnt wasn't very high.
Even if he died outside or in another country, the top officials of the Shadow Departnt had plenty of ways to cover it up legitimately.
Yet he didn't understand why they wanted to silence him.
Was it because of the data he had submitted? If they silenced him, wouldn't that confirm the truth of the data, showing that soone was driven to desperate actions?
Or was it...
...to confirm the information, that they had to kill him?
If he died, could they then opportunistically claim that soone was driven to desperate actions?
In Su Li's mind, nurous thoughts erged. He had seen many of the Shadow Departnt's sches and could think of many possibilities, yet at this mont, he couldn't determine what it really was.
"Brother Su, it seems returning to report might be difficult for you." Yu Ziqing ca over and patted his shoulder.
He could see that Su Li's situation was now quite difficult. His staying alive was a big problem for so people.
From the mont that the Refining God Cultivator from the Seventh Floor tried to ambush him here, it was improbable that Su Li would survive.
Unfortunately, there were three of them following Su Li on his journey.
Seeing Su Li's dispirited appearance, Yu Ziqing could sowhat sense that the internal affairs of Dali were also intricately complex. Everyone knew that the Shadow Departnt, which was least likely to have problems, now had issues.
Their internal strife might be no less intense than Dazhen's real battles, and perhaps even more dangerous.
Just like Su Li, who might have been treated like a pawn, disposed of at will.
He had changed his mind now, not wanting to recruit anymore; he just wanted to make a friend, a good friend.
That ant finding a way to keep Su Li alive and gradually push him to a high position within the Shadow Departnt.
Being ambushed unexpectedly, of course, could not end like this.
Su Li probably wouldn't let it end like this either. He would definitely use every ans to uncover that person and then kill him.
